World Disarmament 


by a 


World Government 


patterned after 


The United States 

Prevents War 

& 

Secures Peace 




I 


INTRODUCTORY. 

The following Article shows the only way that 
War can be prevented and the peace of the world 
secured. Which is by organizing all nations into a 
World Government for the purpose of disarming 
them. And this government is to be patterned after 
the United States government. The Nations retain 
their own governments, just the same as if this. 
World Government was never made. The World 
Government is only for two purposes—to prevent 
war—and settle International disputes by a Supreme 
Court of the world, provided for in the Constitution 
of the World Government. 

It is simply the organized power of the world 
for self protection as follows: From war—from in¬ 
dividual and national destruction—from being slain 
by the improved methods of killing people in war— 
from national and world bankruptcy—from final 
Anarchy, which means the time when the earth 
rolls together like a scroll. 

Read the plan of peace in this Article, and 
be convinced that it is your duty, in any number 
of ways, to support this plan of peace, and to help 
its adoption by the United States, and all nations. 

Respectfully, 

P. M. SULLIVAN.

THE ONLY PLAN OF PEACE. 


Ever since the close of the late war by the 
Armistice, the paramount thought of all peo¬ 
ple has been how to prevent war and secure 
peace, and thereby prevent a recurrence of the 
awful tragedies, losses of life and property by 
that war. 

✓ This thought is generated and accelerated 
by the fact, that the death dealing improve¬ 
ments for killing them in war, not alone on 
the battle fields, but from the air, are so sure 
and certain, that no people or nations can live 
in the throes of such a war, and inhuman 
slaughter. 

And in the face of these impending dang¬ 
erous conditions, no Premier, President, or oth¬ 
er high powered official has presented any con¬ 
crete plan to prevent such sure destruction of 
the people and their governments. So the writ¬ 
er, from the rear ranks of the common people, 
has devised a plan that will prevent war, secure 
peace, and thereby save the lives of all people 
from death by war, and their governments 
from destruction. 

But before giving the details of that 
plan, we want to discuss some of the funda¬ 
mental facts about war and peace, and show 
the necessity for the immediate adoption of 
this plan of peace, to save the people from 


3 


death by war, and the world from bankruptcy 
by wasting the peoples ’ money in building up 
army equipment, which will eventually bring 
on war, and produce the death and bankruptcy 
indicated. 

One of these improvements in dealing out 
death in war is the Lewisite poison gas, man¬ 
ufactured in New Jersey, and though never 
tested in actual war, by experiment it is well 
known, that one of its large bombs dropped 
from an airplane, and exploded on the earth 
will kill and destroy all animal life within a 
radius of five hundred feet, and strip the leaves 
and boughs from the largest trees. 

Another is the poison rain turned loose 
from an airplane, a drop of which is sure to 
destroy animal life; and such weapons of 
death, takes war from the battle field to the 
back yard of mothers and innocent children, 
and pre-eminently shows the necessity for the 
immediate prevention of war, and all means of 
making it. Prepare for peace and not for 
war, is our shibboleth. 

There are three other developed and well 
known aerial weapons of death to be used 
in the next war, to wit: Grerms, Rays and Air 
Shells. A wireless directed airplane will ex¬ 
plode one of these shells any number of miles 


4 


away against a battle ship, or any other object 
and totally destroy it. The Rays and Germs 
will likewise be used by airplanes to destroy 
yonr wife in the back yard, while you are ab¬ 
sent in war—and your children on their way 
to school will be poisoned with germs, break 
out with incurable sores and die—while you on 
the battle field will be shriveled up by rays, 
and die like the murderer in the electric chair. 

So, we say, it is evident that the next 
great war by the use of these, and other im¬ 
provements yet to be made, is sure to kill and 
destroy most of the people of the world, leav¬ 
ing a few who would soon run into anarchy, 
and thus leave the world in such a depraved 
condition, that He who made it would destroy 
it for wickedness, the same as he did in No¬ 
ah ’s time. And if these facts are not suffi¬ 
cient to show the necessity for the immediate 
adoption of a plan of peace that will prevent 
war, we ask what facts can exist, or be stated? 

Further, prepare for peace and you will 
get peace, prepare for war and you will get 
war, prepare and push for any kind of a job 
and you will get it. These are self-evident 
rules and axioms. And with all the large na¬ 
tions now spending billions of dollars in pre¬ 
paring for war, is it not manifest that war is 
already knocking at the door for a chance to 

5 


enter? And with these impending danger 
facts hanging over all nations, is not a plan 
of peace that will prevent war imperative? Is 
not the preparation for peace, instead of for 
war necessary, to save ourselves from destruc¬ 
tion ? 

The heart horrors and property losses 
caused by the late war, together with the fear 
and certainty of another war breaking out, 
have aroused the people of all nations, so that 
they are anxious to protect themselves from 
further danger and destruction, and upon 
reading this plain, practical way of insuring 
themselves, they will be in favor of its im¬ 
mediate adoption. Its the only way out of 
their wilderness of woe. 

The plan of peace herein advocated is the 
disarmament of all nations, which would au¬ 
tomatically secure peace, and coupling that, 
with the fact of saving the waste of the world 
in building up army equipment, does not move 
the world to action by adopting this plan of 
peace, then she will be guilty of choosing sui¬ 
cide by war, and nothing can save her from de 
st ruction. 

About the only objectors to this plan of 
peace will be the munition makers, and high 
powered military men, who will loudly pro- 


6 


claim there always has been and always will 
be war, and it is foolish to try to prevent it— 
and they will cite ancient and modem history 
to sustain their wild, wicked assertions, and all 
because they would lose their jobs by estab¬ 
lishing peace. 

Without stopping to argue with this class 

of selfish objectors, we simply say, that He 
who made the world, has commanded peace 
thereon, and peace must and will be made by 
Him, with the necessary human help. He said 
not a jot oor tittle of His law should fail but 
all must be fulfilled—and we say now is the 
time for such fulfillment. Notwithstanding 
His command has been disregarded for nearly 
two thousand years. 

Disarmament is the only way that war 

can be prevented, and upon that line we say, 
that if Germany had not been armed in 1914, 
she could not have started any war, and the 
ruthless murder of fifty millions of people 
would have been saved, besides two hundred 
and fifty billion dollars would have been con¬ 
served to the world to help carry on her in¬ 
dustries, and help the poor to live. 

We admit that heretofore it has been con¬ 
sidered impossible to prevent war, but Amer¬ 
ica having overcome so many well considered 

7 


impossibilities—besides stopping the Kaiser in 
bis wild career in trying to conquer the world, 
and tbe world having been looking to America 
to invent some plan of securing her peace, and 
setting her wheels of industry rolling, the 
world will adopt this plan of peace on sight. 

By way of illustration we say, the trans¬ 
formation of all nations from a war to a 
peace basis, would be much easier than it was 
for the Romans to do away with their wager 
of battle to settle property disputes, to the or¬ 
ganized Courts of Emperor Justinian. And the 
educated world of today ought to be willing to 
do as much in the interest of the world, as 
the benighted Romans did in the interest of 
private humanity. 

A successful plan of preventing war can 
not be made by Premiers, Presidents, and high 
powered men in control of nations, but it must 
and can be done by the people of all nations 
sending their delegates to a world convention 
called for the purpose of formulating such a 
plan. And that would be carrying out one of 
the great principles for which the United 
.States, lost a hundred thousand soldiers, and 
Twenty five billion dollars, in carrying on her 
part of the world war. Amd such a plan would 
redeem America’s pledge to her dead soldiers, 
and to the people for their billions of dollars. 


8 


A plan of peace strong enough to prevent 
war must he of great strength, and in thinking 
of that, we state the fundamental fact that in 
union there is strength, and cite the strength 
of our Union of forty-eight states comprising 
the leading nation of the world—and we argue 
therefrom that the nations of the world, organ¬ 
ized into a government, patterned after the 
United States, would be strong enough to pre¬ 
vent war and secure peace, because it would 
contain the whole strength of the world, or¬ 
ganized for a certain purpose. 

This article is not unmindful of the good 
intentions of the nations that have joined the 
Versailles league of nations, and assert they 
were like the man who grasped at a straw to 
save his life. And as soon as these nations 
see this sure shot plan of saving human life, 
and all nations from destruction by war, they 
will quit their impotent league, and join in this 
plan of saving all nations and their inhabi¬ 
tants. 

The United States is a democracy, and at 
her recent election she voted seven million 
strong against that league being the right 
way, to settle the peace of the world. In 
other words she says, that league will never 
prevent war and make peace, but will breed 
war and disturbance in the world; and that 


9 


hence the American people have buried it 
seven million deep. It only hinted at prevent¬ 
ing war by decreasing armament—and de¬ 
creasing armament is like decreasing whisky 
drinking, the effect of which is to 'break out 
in a bigger war, and bigger drunk. 

Millions of good people and good democrats 
voted on the side of that league, but since its 
overwhelming defeat by this democratic gov¬ 
ernment, they willingly acquiesce in the ma¬ 
jority vote, and are now practically all willing 
to abide by the result, and say its not the 
right way, to get peace, and relieve the world 
from its industrial distress. 

Without further comment upon this line 
of showing the necessity of preventing war to 
save the morals, men and money of the world, 
we confidently assert, such saving can only be 
done by the United States, starting the plan of 
organizing the nations into a WORLD GOV¬ 
ERNMENT, fashioned after the United States, 
to be called the UNITED NATIONS of the 
world. And that government shall provide for 
the disarmament of all nations. So there never 
can be any more war to distress, and to rob the 
people of their earnings, and right to live in 
peace. 

A form of government that is good enough 
for America, is good enough for all nations 


10 


in preventing war, and securing to them, pro¬ 
tection from destruction from the same. And 
as war affects all nations, they must have a 
part in any agreement to prevent it, they must 
all have their day in court, they must all have 
a say in a plan to discharge their armies. That 
is true democracy, the foundation of this pro¬ 
posed plan of disarmament. 

This world government is only intended 
to he organized for two purposes: First, to 
make war impossible by the mutual agreement 
of the nations after they are organized into 
an entity for that purpose—and, Second, for 
the purpose of settling all disputes between 
nations by a Supreme Court of the world— 
its mandates and judgments to be enforced by 
a small army of the world government—all 
armies of nations having been discharged by 
mutual agreement of the nations, as provided 
for by the Congress of the World government. 

The several national governments shall 
remain intact, in full power, over their own 
domestic affairs, and without any interference 
by this organized power of the world. The 
prevention of war is the heart of the whole 
thing—the nations shall be just as separate 
and sovereign as they are today, with the same 
separate rights, as the people and states of 
this country have—that is the thought and 
principle basis of this association of nations. 

11 



And there is to he no disarmament by the 
nations whatever, until after this world gov¬ 
ernment is fully organized, and its congress 
shall have (passed a law providing for the dis¬ 
armament of all nations at a set time, and at 
the same time shall have provided for an or¬ 
ganized army of the world to protect it, and 
enforce the processes of the Supreme Court 
and all its courts. 

So it is plain the national governments 
shall lose no power, rights or sovereignty, but 
shall be protected by the organized power of 
the world; they lose nothing, and gain the 
protection of all worldly power, and protect 
themselves from war and destruction by any 
and all alien enemies. So where is the nation 
that will refuse such a benificent advantage? 
Where is the nation that will refuse to have 
the protection of all its rights secured by the 
strength and power of the world? 

This concrete plan of organizing the na¬ 
tions into a world government to prevent war 
and secure the peace of the world, should be 
started by an Act of congress authorizing and 
directing the President to call a WORLD 
CONVENTION, composed of delegates from 
every nation to meet at Washington, D. C,. on 
a certain date to formulate and present a plan 
of world government to prohibit war and se- 


12 


cure peace as already stated—also for the set¬ 
tlement of International disputes by a SU¬ 
PREME COURT of the world—and all pat¬ 
terned after the constitution and government 
of the United States. 

In authorizing the call for this convention, 
the President should be directed to apportion 
the delegates among the nations not according 
to population but according to their intrinsic 
worth and importance to the world. And 
America being the father and mother in start¬ 
ing this peace plan, it should be generous and 
provide for the temporary maintenance of dele¬ 
gates, or until the constitution for the plan was 
formally presented for adoption. 

For nearly three years the whole world 
has been looking to this country to lead it out 
of the economic chaos and near approach to 
Anarchy, the late war has plunged it into. And 
so as soon as America comes to the front and 
presents this sure shot plan of preventing war 
and establishing peace forever—the world will 
respond to the call, all of which will automati¬ 
cally open up the avenues of business life and 
confidence, and the wheels of industry will be¬ 
gin to spin, and grind out success, comfort, and 
plenty. 

But such call and plan will daze and stag¬ 
ger the Socialists, Soviets, Reds and Rots, 

13 


and all other agitators against the welfare of 
good government, until they all fall over 
against the Bolsheviki and go down in a heap, 
and there wither and decay like frost-bitten 
mulien stalks in a dried-up sheep pasture. 

The call for this world convention would 
serve notice upon all class haters, and class 
agitators that the time had come for an em¬ 
bargo upon their destructive conduct, and no 
more of it would be tolerated. And they must 
go to work and stop organizing disturbance, 
and help carry on the industries of life—for 
peace and plenty will return to the earth, and 
they must do their part in a decent orderly 
way. 


There is no question but that nearly all 
the nations are looking to the United States 
to help pull them out of the muck and mire 
of financial and business distress this war has 
thrown them into. And as soon as this call for 
a convention to make peace is made, these na¬ 
tions will take heart and help it along, and the 
wells of war in Europe will commence drying 
up—building up army equipment will be prac¬ 
tically stopped, and by the simple call, the 
Peace of the world is practically assured. 

We contend that the only sure self-de¬ 
fense of all nations is the destruction of all 


14 




their means of making war. And nnder their 
present anxiety to be secure from further war, 
this convention will cause them by mutual con¬ 
sent to agree to the plan here set out of dis¬ 
charging all their armies as here proposed, 
and thus he safe, and the waste of their money 
for armies and navies stopped, and so forth 
and so on. 

Aside from saving individual and national 
life under this plan of peace, look at the money 
side of the question and 'see—that the late war 
directly cost the United States over $25,- 
000,000,000, or $250 for every man, woman and 
child in the country—enough money to buy 
a little home for thousands of families who 
have none—money enough to cloth such fam¬ 
ilies for a long time. And further see—and 
consider that (92) cents of every dollar in 
taxes collected in the United States is now 
wasted in war expenditures, and what is true 
in this nation is more than true in every other 
nation, by which the world will soon run into 
bankruptcy. So we ask if these money facts 
are not sufficient evidence to cause, not only 
America, but the world to adopt this plan of 
peace? In other words would not the adopt¬ 
ion of this plan of preventing war, save the 
world from bankruptcy? 

We further say, the adoption of this plan 


15 



of preventing war and securing peace would 
enable Germany to pay her debts to the Al¬ 
lies, and pay off her own domestic debts; 
while by its rejection Germany is derelict for¬ 
ever—she is bankrupt without any chance for 
redemption—and the same is more than half 
true of every other nation. And as to the 
United 'States, the saving of said (92) cents 
war tax, would build and bisect our country 
with good roads, so the farmers could auto 
their products to market in quick time, and 
at greatly reduced rates—and thus peace, pros¬ 
perity and plenty would be secured to the 
whole world, and all fear of war and bank¬ 
ruptcy would be a thing of the past. 

And without the adoption of this plan 
for preventing war, our nation will waste bil¬ 
lions of dollars in keeping up her war equip¬ 
ment, and this year she is scheduled to spend 
and waste a billion dollars, under the delusion 
of self protection—and other nations will 
waste a proportionate amount, which annual 
waste will soon destroy the financial life of 
the world. So it is waste and war, or peace 
and prosperity, take your choice. Our funda¬ 
mental argument is—that armies and navies, 
and preparing for war is sure to produce it— 
while preparing for peace, by adopting this 


16 


plan, peace is secured and war is prevented; 
the world is saved, and the larder is filled. 

We here ask the reader to look out over 

the world and see its shattered, (broken and 
wasted condition caused by the war, with no 
spirit of fairness or confidence among the 
European nations, all of them plotting war and 
some of them still in war for plunder. Con¬ 
sider that war only kills people and destroys 
property, while peace builds up, preserves and 
produces property, which is prosperity, and 
thus imagine and see the great need for the 
adoption of this plan of making war impos¬ 
sible. 

In directing the President to call this 

World Convention, Congress should provide 
for the publication and circulation of this plan 
of peace among this, and all nations, so that 
everybody will be informed of the exact way 
their lives and nations are to be protected by 
this World Government. The common people 
should see and know that the official class are 
not alone making this peace, but all people 
hav<* equal say in its final adoption. 

By way of emphasizing what has already 

been said about this plan of saving the world 
from bankruptcy, etc., we further say—That if 
the United States would take ten million out 


17 


of the ten hundred million dollars she is in¬ 
tending to spend this year in war matters, and 
use that ten million in building up for peace 
instead of for war, by publishing and circu¬ 
lating this peace plan among all nations with 
other propaganda,—she would soon produce 
this WORLD CONVENTION, which would 
produce this peace constitution with a disar- 
ment clause therein—and from the time the 
convention call was made, until the adoption 
of the constitution, made by it; the waste of 
money for war equipment would practically 
stop—agitation and strikes would stop—the 
wars of Europe would dwindle, the world 
would go to work and not to war—because all 
nations would feel assured that this practical 
and only plan of peace fathered and promoted 
by America, would be sure to win. And thus 
for the price of one battleship, war can be pre¬ 
vented and lives saved, and the world saved, 
and bankruptcy prevented. 

This plan of peace by a world government 
is. purely American, and every hundred per 
cent American will be for its adoption as soon 
as they see and understand it—Because it will 
insure their individual lives from death by 
war, and insure the life and protection of this 
government from destruction by war—the 
devils war can not produce peace—but the 
Prince of Peace can produce it by this plan. 


18 


Now, like all human inventions and gov¬ 
ernments, corrections and amendments will 
have to he made to this world government, as 
time and experience may find it necessary— 
but the fundamental principles upon which it 
is based are right—they exist in the nature 
of self protection, and the direct command of 
God for peace on earth—and upon these bed 
rock facts the article is based. 

In considering this plan, we ask the reader 
to consider that self protection is the strongest 
element in all animal life (it will make a rat 
act) and it will make all the promoters of war 
and selfish rulers of nations act, and realize 
their lives are in danger by war hanging over 
tkem under the aforesaid improved methods of 
human slaughter—so that they, who were here¬ 
tofore in favor of war, will now be in favor 
of peace. 

When the call for a world convention is 
made by the United States, the Reds and Rots 
that are making war for greed and graft in 
Russia, and other places, will be opposed to 
it because it will destroy their jobs, the same 
as the aforesaid munition makers and military 
men. But the better class of all men, and those 
that have gone into the Versailles league, will 
see the futility of trying to make peace by 
aiming nations for war—and they will with¬ 
draw, and join in this American plan of peace 


19 


by peaceable means. 

We bave not even tried to argue out the 
many different angles and fundamental facts 
involved in this world wide subject of making 
war impossible by this new form of world gov¬ 
ernment—but we have only tried to blaze the 
road to this haven of peace and safety, by 
giving a brief outline—showing the danger of 
destruction, and the economy involved, and 
hence the necessity for the adoption of this 
plan—which is the only plan under which the 
world can be saved as stated—and if anybody 
has any other, or rather better plan, they have 
thus far never presented it—and the reason 
is, they can’t. 

And after they are proven guilty of caus¬ 
ing the war, they will be shown the way to 
escape all future punishment therefor, and be 
paroled on condition, that they now obey such 
law, and help Him to enforce it by promoting 
the adoption of this plan of preventing war. 
and securing peace in the way heretofore 
stated. 

We now come to the most important and 
serious part of this plan, because we are com¬ 
pelled to accuse, and prove the Christians of 
every denomination brought on the late war, 
by reason of their neglect and refusal to obey 
the law of God commanding ‘‘peace on earth 
and good will toward men.” 


20 



All Christians know that on the night 
Jesus was born, numberless angels appeared 
in the sky to the Shepherds on the hills, and 
there proclaimed the above peace law. Which 
meant that war should cease and peace pre¬ 
vail. And in His sermon on the Mount, He 
said not a jot or tittle of the law should fail, 
but all must be fulfilled, which meant this law 
of peace, as well as all other laws. 

And the Christians as a class can not deny 
that they have been plotting and carrying on 
war in open violation to that command of 
peace for hundreds of years; thus killing un¬ 
told millions of men, and wasting billions of 
their hard earned dolars in such wars. 1 

And as God is no respecter of persons, 
and punishes all alike for the violation of His 
law, and often punished His ancient Israelites 
for violating His commands, is it not rea¬ 
sonable and fair to say,—That He punished 
these Christians, and their nations hy plunging 
them into this war for violating His law of 
peace? 'Could He be fair and just to punish 
these ancient sinners, and let these modern 
sinners go free? Would not such unfair con¬ 
duct impeach Him? Who dare try to im¬ 
peach Him? 

r "• ' * v % 

Now, by reason of the law and the evi¬ 
dence, do not these: Christians, stand proven 

.21 


guilty of bringing on the late war, which has 
so wounded and distressed the whole world? 
And should we not try to heal these world 
wounds, by some corresponding world good? 
And would not their work as a combined class 
for the adoption of this plan of peace, greatly 
contribute toward healing such wounds? 

If the Christians had been alive to their 
duty and organized their nations into a gov¬ 
ernment to prevent war by disarmament, this 
late war could not have taken place—and the 
slaughter of millions would have been pre¬ 
vented. So would it not be best for us to now 
organize under this plan, and thereby prevent 
all future wars? And would not such good 
work greatly offset the sins anil sorrows 
caused by their dereliction of duty? 

In a way it is no matter how, or who 
started the late war, the fact is the world is 
whipped until she wants peace for fear of total 
destruction. A|nd there never has been a time 
before, that the peace of the world could be 
established by disarmament of all nations. 
And now it is the fear of such destruction and 
bankruptcy, that makes such a peace possible. 
And these necessities of man, make God’s op¬ 
portunity to enforce His peace law, and bring 
a world-good out of a world war. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing accusations 


22 



and proofs against all Christians, they are the 
intelligence, controlling influence and best part 
of the human race, and without them civiliza¬ 
tion could not exist—which facts make their 
dereliction of Christian duty seem so unac¬ 
countable. But it is human to err and divine 
to be forgiving—so let it all go, combine and 
put this peace plan of disarmament into gov¬ 
ernmental effect, and thus save the lives of 
the people in this world, and their souls in the 
world to come. 

By Christian intelligence and influence this 

peace plan can be adopted, war made impos¬ 
sible and the world saved—while without such 
help all is lost, the world will be destroyed, 
and they go into eternity derelict in duty, for 
refusing to help God save the world from de¬ 
struction by disarming the nations and thereby 
preventing war. 

We are not trying to upbraid this best 

part of the human race, but simply trying to 
imbue them with a fresh understanding of 
their duty toward God and the world. So they 
might get to work and cause the adoption of 
this plan, and thereby cause the disarmament 
of all nations, which is the only means of sav¬ 
ing themselves and the world, as stated. 

-Christians of every name and denomina- 

23 



tion are the agents of God in helping Him to 
run the world, and look after the moral and 
spiritual welfare of mankind—and they get 
their authority and inspiration from the same 
book of truth to-wit: the Bible. So there can 
be no friction among them upon this funda¬ 
mental duty in obeying God, and helping Him 
to enforce His peace law. He works through 
human agencies and is calling all Christians to 
adopt this plan of disarming all nations. 

The peace of the world can never be made 

without the help of Him who made it. And 
unless the Christians help Him, cause the dis¬ 
armament of all nations, peace will never be 
made, which would inevitably doom the world 
to destruction. So here again is the choice of 
peace and plenty, or war and destruction. 

Section 4—of Article 9—of the proposed 

constitution for this government to cause the 
disarmament of all nations, provides—that no 
law shall ever be passed establishing or inter¬ 
fering with religion. So each church denom¬ 
ination will be safe in their religious rites, un¬ 
der this world government; and they will be 
more secure than under their own single gov- 
ernment—because here they have- the whole 
world power to protect them. 

This peace plan says, in union there is 

24 



strength—and in the combined efforts of all 
Christians and their churches to procure the 
peace of the world, it would be secured just 
as soon as this peace plan was spread 'before 
the people—-and there would be no formal com¬ 
bination actually necessary, though a World 
Peace Party, would facilitate the matter. 

This plan of peace is founded upon the 

same principles of civil and religous liberty, 
that was planted on the rocks of Plymouth 
three hundred years ago—and for which our 
revolutionary ancestors boiled their shoes at 
Valley Forge to make soup to nourish and keep 
their patriotic bodies alive. 

This plan of peace will preserve the civil 

and religious principles that Washington 
fought to establish—and Lincoln, Garfield, and 
McKinley, lost their lives in administering— 
when assasinated by the same class of Rots, 
and Reds, that are now waging war in Europe 
and are seeking to sew their seed of destruc¬ 
tion in our own God-given country. 

The tree of peace here sought to be 

» 

planted in the rich moral and Christian soil of 
America, would be watered and nourished' by 
Him, who commanded peace on earth—hence 
it : will take' root in all nations, and spread 
its branches over all the earth—and by the 


25 



efforts of the Christians, His law will be en¬ 
forced—for not a jot or tittle of it shall fail, 
though it has taken nearly two thousand years 
to fulfill it. 

There is no taint of partisan politics, or 
sectarian religion in this plan of securing 
peace by disarmament—the thought of pro¬ 
tecting the people of the world from impend¬ 
ing destruction by war, is the paramount idea 
of the whole plan. Of course that idea is sup- 
plimented by the highest of all human con¬ 
ceptions, to-wit: Obedience to the power that 
made the earth and all there is therein. 

Now, the combined strength of the Chris¬ 
tians of the United States, would not have to 
supplicate the official power of the nation to 
adopt this plan of disarmament, they could de¬ 
mand it as a matter of right of self protec¬ 
tion—and this official power would have to 
comply—because to refuse, would sound in 
the death knell of their official life at the 
next election—and what would be true in this 
nation would be equally true in all nations. 

Further, the combined demand of all 

Christians of the world asking their lives, and 
the life of their several nations be protected 
by preventing war under this plan, would be 
strong enough to cause all nations to agree in 


26 


this WORLD CONVENTION, to such plan— 
and with God on their side, they would win— 
like the patriots won at the battle of York- 
town—and the Allies won at the battles of the 
Marne. 

All Christians know that God spoke, and 

His word was made flesh under the name of 
Jesus—and by His angels He proclaimed the 
law of peace, to save the world from destruc¬ 
tion by war, and He relies upon them to help 
carry out his command of peace by disarming 
all nations. Hence we must all obey or take 
the consequences of destruction as stated. And 
here again is seen the choice to live or die in 
both worlds. 

And after war is prevented, there will be 

no more herding young men together to be 
slaughtered like brutes—there will be no more 
war widows, starving orphans, or crippled sol¬ 
diers to crush the spirit, and break the hearts 
of good people—there will be no more pen¬ 
sions to pay, nor billions of war debts to im¬ 
poverish industry and keep the people poor. 

But instead, God having 'been honored by 

war prevented, and peace secured; He will 
bless the earth and send health, wealth, and 
prosperity to the people, and instead of air¬ 
ships loaded with soldiers dropping bombe of 

27 



death upon them, there will be airplanes load¬ 
ed with human angels, soaring the Heavens, 
singing, Glory to God, peace on earth, with 
variations of God save America, and the wide, 
wide world. 


A tentative form of the constitution that 
is to govern this WORLD GOVERNMENT 
of nations to prevent war and secure peace is 
found in the back part of this pamphlet, and 
its preamble reads as follows: 

We, the people of the world for the purpose of 
preventing war, securing peace, and settling all in¬ 
ternational disputes by courts, by organizing all na¬ 
tions into a WORLD GOVERNMENT, do hereby or¬ 
dain, adopt and establish the following constitution 
to carry out such government and its fundamental 
principles. 

We here give a brief synopsis of the dif¬ 
ferent functions of this constitution, so the 
reader may get a good general understanding 
of it, without reading the whole constitution. 

. The legislature .shall consist of a Senate, 
composed of two hundred members. And the 
House of Representatives shall consist of one 
thousand members. These members shall be 
apportioned among the nations by the as¬ 
sembled delegates of the World Convention— 
and thereafter by the world congress. * - 

‘The senators are to be chosen-every- six 


28 



years, and they are to be divided by lot into 
classes so tbe first class shall go out of office 
at the end of the first three years, thus mak¬ 
ing one-half to be chosen every three years. 
And the members of the House of Representa¬ 
tives shall be at least twenty-five years of age. 

Congress shall have power to pass all laws 

it deems necessary to enforce the constitution, 
and to carry its different functions into active 
operation and effect—among which powers 
and laws will be the regulation of commercial 
intercourse between nations, and all their in¬ 
ternational relations. But congress shall not 
in any way interfere with existing treaties be¬ 
tween nations, or any other national right ex¬ 
isting at the time of the ratification of the 
constitution. 

Congress shall, by law, select a seat of 

government, purchase and pay for the same, 
and erect and furnish all the necessary build¬ 
ings and equipment it deems necessary there¬ 
for, and provide all things necessary for car¬ 
rying on this government of nations; besides 
congress shall by law levy and collect suffi¬ 
cient taxes and revenue to finance this gov¬ 
ernment of UNITED NATIONS. 

The executive power of the United Na¬ 
tions, shall be vested in a President who shall 

29 


hold office for six years, and together with a 
vice-president, chosen at the same time, they 
shall both be ineligible to re-election. The con¬ 
stitution provides in detail for the election of 
these officers by the nations, in a parallel man¬ 
ner to that provided in the constitution of the 
United 'States, for the election of President and 
vice-president, and their official duties are 
comparatively the same, but for a full, clear 
and comprehensive understanding upon this 
branch of the government, read article (6) of 
this tentative constitution. 

The Judicial power of the United Nations 
is vested in a Supreme Court, and such in¬ 
ferior courts as congress may establish. The 
judges are to hold office during good behavior, 
and their power shall extend to all cases aris¬ 
ing under the constitution, and the laws of con¬ 
gress. Also to all questions and contentions be¬ 
tween nations which, shall be heard and de¬ 
cided by these courts, and the decision of the 
Supreme Court shall be forever final and con¬ 
clusive. 

The Supreme Court shall consist of thirty- 
one judges, and a concurrence of a majority of 
the court shall be necessary to decide any 
question. And no person is eligible as judge 
of this court until he is at least thirty-five 
years of age and has been a practicing lawyer 


30 


for ten years. And the convention that for¬ 
mulates this constitution shall divide the 
United Nations into thirty-one judicial dis¬ 
tricts, and one supreme judge shall be chosen 
from each district, and these districts may be 
altered by Act of 'Congress. Read Article (7) 
for a full understanding on this fundamental 
point—for this court is the Hub of the gov¬ 
ernment, except it might be the demobiliza¬ 
tion of all armies and navies, after the gov¬ 
ernment is in full operation. 

Article 8—of this tentative constitution 
provides, that full faith and credit shall be 
given in each nation to the public acts, records 
and judicial proceedings of every other na¬ 
tion—and that a person charged with crime, 
who flees to another nation shall be given up 
upon executive demand. It also provides that 
new nations may be admitted into the govern¬ 
ment by act of congress. 

Article 9,—Expressly states that the gov¬ 
ernment is organized for the purpose of pre¬ 
venting war, and promoting the welfare of 
mankind in every nation. And that every na¬ 
tion shall have the undisputed right to govern 
its own domestic affairs as fully as if this gov¬ 
ernment was not made. And that congress 
shall pass all laws necessary to carry the con¬ 
stitution into effect. 


31 


This article further provides that the 

armies and navies of the several nations shall 
remain undisturbed until after this constitu¬ 
tion is ratified and the government provided 
for therein is in operation—then it shall be 
the mandatory duty of congress, to provide 
for the organization of an army and navy be¬ 
longing to the United Nations, and for use in 
protecting it, and enforcing the mandates and 
judgments of its courts—and at the same time 
congress shall provide by law, for the dis¬ 
charge upon the same day of the armies and 
navies of all nations composing the govern¬ 
ment—and that no nation shall thereafter en¬ 
gage in the manufacture of arms or munitions 
of war of any kind, except to supply the 
United Nations with the same—and that all 
nations shall obey without question the law 
to discharge its armies and navies as provided 
by law, and all courts shall sustain such law 
if ever questioned. 

This same article also provides that the 

constitution, laws of the United Nations, and 
all treaties now in existence between nations, 
shall be the Supreme law of the world—and 
the judges of every nation are bound thereby. 
And that the United Nations shall never make 
any law respecting the establishment of re¬ 
ligion, abridging the freedom of speech, of 


32 



the press, or the right of the people to peace¬ 
ably assemble and petition the government for 
a redress of their grievances. 

Article (10) provides for the manner of 
amending the constitution and article (11) 
provides that when two thirds of the nations 
ratify this constitution it shall automatically 
become the constitution of such United Na¬ 
tions.

TIONS OF THE WORLD.

for offenses against the United Nations, except 
in cases of impeachment.

vacancies in office that may occur during the 
recess of the Senate, by granting commissions 
which shall expire at the end of their next ses¬ 
sion. 

Section 3. The President shall from time 
to time give Congress information of the 
state of the United Nations, and recommend 
such measeures as he shall judge necessary 
and expedient—and he may on extraordinary 
occasions convene both Houses or either of 
them, and in case of disagreement between 
them with respect to the time of adjournment, 
he may adjourn them to such time as he thinks 
proper—And the President, Vice President,

as if the government of United Nations was 
never made, and all its treaties now existing 
shall remain inviolate by this government, yet 
the nations directly affected and parties to 
such treaties may change or abrogate such
